Im debating what color should i paint my wheels... They come with the Chrome dish, and im painting the inside...
Debating on this for few past weeks and i cant make my mind... RIght now im leaning towards white wheels / chrome dish OR Gun Metal / chrome dish.... But im still trying to figure out how would dark bronze wheels would look on silver. Maybe some one can post pics of diferent choises? Thanks. -------------------- Ex celica owner - just a guy from other side of the pond...

I'd go gun metal in the inside and keep the lip portion chrome. That was my original choice of color, but I decided to go silver instead just in case I sell the wheels in the future.

The main reason i dont wanna paint my wheels gunmetal / chome dish is cuz they willl alway look like they are dirty... Dark color on a light color car makes wheels look smaller then they are and basicly IMHO wheels just disapear.... Now im left with only 2 options - White or Light Bronze..... -------------------- Ex celica owner - just a guy from other side of the pond...

neither white nor bronze/gold look good on a silver car in my opinion
i thing bronze/gold only looks good on a black car, and white on maybe a white car. i would go with a gunmetal or maybe a black, but whatever you do im sure it will look great, your work allways looks great  just my 2 cents (btw gunmetal is overtaking the poll  )

doGGy, I have the same concern, would like to have some specific wheels on my silver beauty.
I have decided to go for titanium / black colour. Check this famous C-One. I think the white ones seem too funny and any other color than black does not match. Silver is too usual

Btw - black on Silver or any LIGHT color - is like driving your car without hubcaps (while car is moving
)Actually - Gunmetal + red line on the wheels = Time attack wheels, and they are popular at this time... Hmmmm Hard decidions... Btw - Dan - on the Silver jetta with these "bronze" wheels - they are not bronze - they are like Yellow I was refering to the color like this:

If the lip is chrome or polished I think black looks the best with silver.

Gold with a polished lip would look good. If not that black with a polished lip.
